Become a God yourself and create your own God on Mount Olympus. Stage a take over of Zeus, discover a long lost child, or be creative as to how we've never before heard of this amazing God!
Your requirements will be the same as the ones for Option A, but with a twist that will force you to really think about what is lacking on Mount Olympus right now. Follow these steps to creating your own God:
A. Family Tree. Decide how your God came into existence. How was he born? Remember, Pegasus was birthed from Medusa's headless dead body so how yours is born and why we've never heard of him until now is open to ANY appropriate idea! Or, maybe yours is a demi-god who was hidden until his skills matched those of the immortals. You will need to decide on the parents for your God, so research males and females to make that perfect match!
B. Purpose. What is lacking on Mount Olympus right now? Decide what your God will be the God over. Who serves him? What are his strengths and weaknesses? Who does he answer to? To make sure nothing is repeated, you'll have to research to make sure there is no God of that domain? C. Name. Did you know that all names have origins with particular meanings? To many ancient civilizations, a child's name gave great promise to the person he/she would become. Search these sites for name origins or origins of Greek names Now You're Ready to Create your God! Requirements:
1. Top 10 List:Think of 10 important details we need to know to truly understand your God. Include traits he got from his mother and father based on your research. What has he done that he is known for? Did your God betray someone? Is he banned from certain areas or does he have ultimate control? Remember to look into concepts and values of the time period. Greeks valued laws, family, community, and service to the Gods to keep them happy. What does your God like for gifts? Be creative to create this, but make sure your creativity has a factual basis so you dig deeper into mythology. Research, research, research... and link it to your new creation.
2.Photos: At least four pictures of his family, his domain, or anything that shows him. Include captions under them.
3. Design: You need a heading when your page opens (like mine on this page). Design a title area using PowerPoint. Save the slide as a JPEG image and upload that to the Wikipage. Explain usage of colors and styles for text which represent your God's profile and an explanation of why you used them.

4. Drama: Pick a part of the story where your God/Goddess/Character is involved and rewrite it from his/her point of view. Your character might have been an enemy that Odysseus attacked, so your version of what happened will be very different from his. Write a dramatic monolog that focuses on the emotions he/she is feeling because of Odysseus' actions. The text of the monolog should be linked to your page.
5.Music: Embed a music file that fits the character's profile with written explanation of the choice. Want to Make Your Music Play Automatically When Someone Opens Your Page? Click here for directions and tips.
